Description

Describe the enhancement

For example, here the more detailed group show be hidden unless the parent group is expanded:

Research direction

Start by tracing the UI handling of startGroup and endGroup and how nested groups are represented. Verify the example produces a tree where child groups are hidden until the parent is expanded; the issue names no files or tests, so locate the relevant logging implementation and existing UI coverage first.
